On the flip side, if I could talk a friend into joining me, RAF would make leveling entirely feasible.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I've gone and bought Cata now, and I think I'm too cheap to see the $40 go to waste. As such, I'll probably just wind up joining a big guild on my server (maybe for a fee) just to take advantages of the perks while running GDKP raids.<br /><br />For my future reference though, do the EU servers seem much different in terms of language/culture, or is English generally the accepted go between? I don't really have the time available at present to go beyond English.Spectralnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-34842270530109897032010-12-06T18:20:38.136+01:002010-12-06T18:20:38.136+01:00Some time ago I did 5man heroics with my shaman wh...Some time ago I did 5man heroics with my shaman who has utterly bad gear as I don't play him often. I noticed that he got the invite very often after 10 minutes in the queue (despite waiting time was given as 15 minutes), when my other much better equipped hunter had to wait about the 15 minutes that where estimated.<br /><br />It's only anectodal evidence, but I do think there is more to the DungeonFinder than pure time waited.

My underpopulated faction used to lose about 80-90% of the time. Later Alliance became less interested in WG, so Horde started to win about 20-30% of the time. Now we as Horde win around 95% of the time. Often we face level 76+ players on Alliance side, though I'm pretty sure that they have enough players at level cap who want to join the battle (on my server, Horde:Alliance ratio is 1:5-7).<br /><br />Probably if I had more time, I could have finished my "Veteran of Wintergrasp" achievement in just several days, since so far I've seen Horde lose WG three times after the "balance patch" was deployed on live servers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-28953768214090030612010-12-06T09:20:12.259+01:002010-12-06T09:20:12.259+01:00The out of normal hours popularity of the BG is in...The out of normal hours popularity of the BG is interesting.

The idea is that you can maintain the level of social contacts you like - you can unsubscribe from "/casual" any time you want. You can't unsubscribe from the guild chat, so it's more restricted.Aljabranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-78554037024433577452010-12-06T07:52:51.076+01:002010-12-06T07:52:51.076+01:00The PuG seems like a great place for those who don...The PuG seems like a great place for those who don't look for much social chat in their style of play.<br /><br />I also despise some of the idiot guild chat that can go on, but i find it worth it for the decent guild chat that goes on most of the time. All in all i'm lucky enough to be in a good guild when it comes to "people-with-brain/idiot" ratio. I imagine I'd feel kind of lonely in game without my guild chat.<br /><br />But if this sort of thing is what suits you, it sounds like an awesome place to be.Saniteenoreply@blogger.com
